Chapter 64 Mother-in-law

Su Youling didn't panic; instead, she was calmer than ever before. "Didn't you hear what my mother thought about our marriage?"

Li Tingxi's large hand froze for a moment, his anger and resentment finding no outlet. Suddenly, he dared not look her in the eye. "You..."

Su Youling interrupted him, "If she knew more, if she knew that you used to call out Shen Xiyue's name when you slept with me, if she knew that you deliberately made me go out in the snow in my pajamas to buy you roasted chestnuts when you hated Shen Xiyue, if she knew that you were abroad with your new lover when I was sick, if she knew that you and Shen Xiyue had a long-awaited reunion when I was kidnapped..."

"Enough!" Li Tingxi suddenly pressed her against his chest, only feeling safe when he controlled her body temperature with his palm. Her rapid breathing and heartbeat were particularly noticeable in the dim stairwell.

Su Youling listened calmly to his heartbeat, but her smile was bitter.

These were all the humiliations and torments that Li Tingxi had inflicted on her, but she had previously only regarded this marriage as a fair trade.

Li Tingxi provided the money, she provided the effort; personalities were irrelevant.

If it weren't for Li Tingxi's repeated harassment, she might have chosen to gradually forget these unbearable past events, pretending to be an emotionless robot who had never cared.

"I'm sorry, Su Su." Li Tingxi suddenly gently nibbled on her earlobe, his hoarse apology trembling slightly. It wasn't obvious, but it was enough to express that this proud and arrogant prodigy truly felt remorse.

"I wasn't good to you before, but I'll make it up to you from now on." Li Tingxi's kisses gradually moved downwards, landing on her shoulders, her chest, and then slowly drifting towards something more...

"Li Tingxi, no!" Su Youling quickly grabbed the back of his head, but ended up pressing him against her chest in an awkward and ambiguous position. She was immediately filled with shame and anger, and felt a little nauseous.

This time, Li Tingxi will inevitably have some intimate contact with Lin Lexi or Shen Xiyue when he goes back. Now that he's just arrived at the hospital, he can't wait to do these things to her. It's really infuriating.

Rationality is uncomfortable.

Su Youling tilted her head and gagged, showing a complete lack of courtesy.

Li Tingxi raised his head with a grim expression, grabbed her chin, and demanded with burning eyes, "Are you disgusting me?"

"Although it's not obvious, I do have a cleanliness obsession." Su Youling wiped her lips and said coldly, "Can't Shen Xiyue and Lin Lexi combined satisfy you?"

Li Tingxi's anger, which he had just suppressed out of guilt, flared up again. "You!"

"What about me?" Su Youling raised her chin. "You're capable of doing this, and you're afraid of what people will say? Have you forgotten why I divorced you beforehand?"

The word 'divorce' was like a bucket of cold water in the dead of winter, chilling Li Tingxi to the bone. He unconsciously released her chin. "I have never touched Lin Lexi, nor have I gone that far with Shen Xiyue."

As he said this, the man looked embarrassed and annoyed, with a hint of uncontrollable frustration, as if he felt ashamed.

"What?" Su Youling found this statement absurd. Since Li Tingxi got together with her, he had never stopped indulging in desires.

The two unexpectedly clicked in bed. Although she was initially inexperienced and found it difficult to adapt to Li Tingxi's wicked tastes, she gradually began to enjoy them. While Li Tingxi was a jerk, his looks and physique were undeniably top-notch.

Putting aside Chen Xiyue, sleeping with him is quite pleasant.

He demanded such a big man in bed, but putting aside whether he even touched Lin Lexi, he had been dating Shen Xiyue for a year and hadn't touched her at all.

Either sex

His indifference could be a sign of his deep love for Shen Xiyue, to the point that he felt even touching her before marriage was a desecration.

Thinking of this, Su Youling licked her teeth, unsure whether she felt more annoyed or bitter, and she wanted to talk to Li Tingxi even less.

"What kind of look is that? I've explained it to you to this extent, and you're still not satisfied?" Li Tingxi felt that he had just presented Su Youling with all his male dignity, but she was still unmoved. His expression suddenly became calm and ruthless. "In short, we will not get a divorce. Forget about it."

"What do you mean?" Su Youling was anxious, grabbing his wrist and refusing to let go. "Li Tingxi, even if it weren't for your infidelity, our agreement is about to expire. I have no obligation to continue playing the role of Shen Xiyue! I don't want to!"

Seeing how eager she was to get a divorce, Li Tingxi's face turned ugly, and he asked through gritted teeth, "In these three years, you haven't had any feelings for me at all?"

His anger was so overwhelming that the stairwell seemed to grow even darker, and the cold, oppressive atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Su Youling's mind tightened immediately, and she was on high alert—if she didn't cooperate, Li Tingxi might go crazy.

With her mother's surgery just around the corner, there was no need for her to argue with Li Tingxi and make him feel that his male pride had been trampled on!

“How could there not be?” Su Youling said calmly, “Three years! More than a thousand days, I’ve been revolving around you non-stop. Even a robot would have developed feelings by now.”

These words, spoken with sarcasm and a hint of grievance, left Li Tingxi with nowhere to vent his anger, and thus extinguished it.

"Can't we just not argue? I'm so tired from this trip." Li Tingxi looked genuinely exhausted; his dark circles were worse than ever, and he seemed to have traveled a long way.

Then, a patch of bluish stubble sprouted up, "How about we go back and rest?"

Su Youling didn't know what he was busy with when he rushed back to City A. It was probably related to Shen Xiyue, but she was too lazy to ask. "I need to stay at the hospital to take care of you. You can go to a hotel and get a room to sleep. Don't bother taking care of things here."

Li Tingxi forcefully grabbed her hand and led her outside, saying, "I want to hold you while I sleep."

"Li Tingxi!" Su Youling struggled.

Li Tingxi turned to look at her, "If you don't want to come back to the hotel with me, then I'll stay with you in your mother's hospital room."

"You scoundrel." Su Youling was both angry and helpless. She really had no way to deal with the domineering and shameless Li Tingxi, so she could only get into the car with him with a stern face.

Qin He, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, greeted her warmly, and Su Youling responded listlessly.

Seeing her like this, Li Tingxi said unhappily, "I've already hired the most expensive caregiver to take care of your mother. I'll come with you first thing tomorrow morning, so it won't delay the surgery."

Su Youling glanced at him and nodded in agreement. "Thank you. But you don't need to come tomorrow."

"Shouldn't I be with you during your mother-in-law's major surgery?" Li Tingxi put on an expression that said, "This is what a husband should do," but Su Youling found it extremely incongruous.

His mother was just a bargaining chip he used to buy himself; when has Li Tingxi ever treated her as his mother-in-law?

Now, no matter what kind of crazy outburst he suddenly gets excited about, it's all too late!

"It's up to you." Su Youling's eyes held a warning. "You can go, but you can't let my mother know your identity before the surgery."

Although Li Tingxi was unhappy that he had to hide like a secret lover, he could only say insincerely, "As long as you behave well, I will naturally cooperate."
